Optimization strategies to support analyses and decisions to increase the coverage of cervical cancer screening tests in rural areas of Cundinamarca, Colombia
"The access to diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer illustrates an example of the inequalities between population groups in Colombia. We analyze large datasets and propose a network flow model to evaluate the coverage of existing facilities in a rural area of the country. We propose alter...

| Summary: | "The access to diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer illustrates an example of the inequalities between population groups in Colombia. We analyze large datasets and propose a network flow model to evaluate the coverage of existing facilities in a rural area of the country. We propose alternatives to improve coverage by exploring the use of static and mobile health centers. We implement network flow and routing models, solved with advanced techniques, to determine solutions for the alternatives. We analyze the alternatives? economic viability through a shadow price analysis. Results show cost-effective ways to provide screening access for vulnerable populations." -- Tomado del Formato de Documento de Grado. |
